Stanley Yang (NeuroSky): Remote Vital Signs Monitoring to Reduce Healthcare Costs for Enterprise and Governments
Heart rate, ECG, Blood pressure, Blood glucose, body temperature, blood oxygen saturation, etc are vital health signs that have been widely used in the medical field to assess the state of a person's health. In the past these measurements were typically carried out in a doctor's office by trained personnel using specialized equipment only when the person visits the doctor's office. These infrequent and isolated measurements do not provide a consolidated and continuous view of how these markers are varying on everyday basis while the person is going about their normal day-to-day life. It is well known that early detection of significant changes to these health markers can prevent/delay the onset of more serious diseases. Technology and products from NeuroSky and partners enable easy to use devices that can be used by individuals/employees/families to measure all these vital signs at home/office/anywhere and remotely and securely send data to the healthcare provider/institution/government agency as the case may be. Having access to this consolidated view of health markers enables these entities to identify early signs of health risks and preemptively take measures to address the issues. This capability can significantly lower the cost of healthcare for organizations and governments.
